Self-assessment deadline looming

The deadline for those who complete their selfassessment tax return on paper is approaching fast, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants warned. Forms must be returned to the taxman by 31 October. If you normally submit your return in paper form you have to make sure it’s with HMRC by the end of the month. Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: “While the majority of people now complete their return online there is still a sizeable number who choose the paper method. It’s important you get your return in on time, even if you believe you have no tax to pay.”
